Aim: To describe an association of spontaneous inferior subconjunctival haemorrhages in eyes with circumferential drainage blebs following trabeculectomy.
Methods: Observational case series. Patients with multiple episodes of spontaneous inferior subconjunctival haemorrhage following trabeculectomy (with or without antimetabolite) and circumferential blebs are presented. All patients described had multiple episodes. A possible mechanism is discussed.
Results: The number of spontaneous haemorrhages ranged from two to more than 10. All individual haemorrhages resolved spontaneously without adverse sequelae
Conclusions: A new clinical presentation of inferior subconjunctival haemorrhage in association with circumferential blebs is described.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the management of chemoimmunotherapy-resistant ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with iodine-125 (I-125) brachytherapy.
Methods: A 36-year-old man presented to the clinic with biopsy-proven OSSN that covered ∼70% of the corneal surface and extended to the 6 o'clock position of the inferior limbus of the OS. The visual acuity was 20/20 in the OD and 20/40 in the affected OS.

Primary simple conjunctival cysts are congenital, non-neoplastic, fluid-filled lesions lined by non-keratinizing squamous epithelium without dermal appendages. They are usually located in the anterior superonasal or superotemporal orbit and are typically managed with complete surgical excision. A 69-year-old woman presented with a 10-month history of diplopia and a 2-week history of right lower eyelid swelling.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide injections with intravitreal dexamethasone implants in reducing central macular thickness in patients with uveitic and postoperative macular edema.
- An open-label, multicenter trial involved 106 adults who were randomly assigned to receive either treatment; the main measure was the change in central macular thickness after 2 months.
- Results indicated that triamcinolone is likely as effective as dexamethasone, particularly for postoperative edema, with no significant differences in side effects, but conclusive non-inferiority was not established at the 2-month mark.
